It's one of the most challenging and visually impressive events at the X Games, and we were there.

Athletes took two wall-to-wall runs across a 60-foot halfpipe, combining technical spins and lip tricks.

Speed & Style combines racing with gravity-defying stunts. Two riders race head-to-head around a three-lap short-track/motocross hybrid. Each rider is judged on the tricks they execute off each of the freestyle ramps, but the one who crosses the finish line first gets bonus points for their margin of victory over the other rider.

It makes sense, really, since it combines flashy technical skill with a big, spinning advertisement. Nowhere is that more true than at the X Games, where we caught this pair of extreme sign spinners practicing their art.
